DC Voltage
Range Note:

DC voltages with AC components cannot be accurately
measured if the DC+AC component exceed the ADC

dynamic range for the selected DC range. Any voltage

exceeding the ADC dynamic range will be clipped at the

upper/lower range limit. Under these conditions the range
that is chosen with the Auto range function may be too

small.

Example:

A

+2V

0V

-2V

E

DC 1V Range

A,B: Input exceeds the ADC
dynamic range.
C,D: The DCV offset causes
the input to exceed the upper
ADC dynamic range.
E: The DCV offset causes the
input to exceed the lower
ADC dynamic range.
